Apply for Financial Assistance

The mission of Kelly’s Dream, a non-profit 501(c)(3) foundation is to help ease the financial and emotional strain of cancer and raise melanoma awareness.

Funds raised by Kelly’s Dream allow us to offer limited financial assistance to families for practical living expenses that have suddenly become too difficult to pay when an individual is undergoing treatment for cancer. We offer assistance up to $300 per year for non-medical expenses such as the cost of transportation to and from treatment, food, child care, utilities and other daily living expenses.
